romney is pushing forward. what will happen is, what will cause the recession in that case is spending restraint and taxes, which were too large. i think you will have mild fiscal constraint, maybe 1% of gdp. and the bigger problem will be ongoing anxiety coming from europe. >> so president obama constantly talks about returning to the policies of the clinton years. but what specific policies do you think he should return to? >> well, don't forget the tax rates will return to the rates under president clinton, so he actually has a more wild version. what he will be -- mild version, the top 2% of the returns for the clinton rates, for everybody else, the taxes are lower. >> but we're talking about different times, because we were in the '90s, boom time, you had a different landscape. >> there is no question that times are changing, by the way, that is also why the comparisons done in the last 40 years, the tax share has been 18 or 19%. we may not be in the '90s, we're certainly not in the '50s, though. we need t
